Done. Gee, I wonder how many people stated that they were engaged in fan activities to convince 'Versal to make another film?

Well, I've done it. Even though I spend more time lurking than actual participation. With a little luck we'll be doing our own shindinging over here on the East Coast. As it happens, the first thing I always do when I get on any computer is to check out the new images in the Blue Sun Room. You never know what's going to show up in there. Anyway, bump! Also, (not to hijack the thread or anything) does somebody want to take a sec and tell me what all this Forsaken business is about? I dunno if we already discussed it, but I'm at a loss.

Sue, will you be making the aggregate results publicly available? Or possibly your write-up on the results? I'm kind of curious to see what others had to say.

Heh. After graduation I was looking at a lot of Applied Anthropology programs, and was seriously considering the one at USF. How do you like it? (I started a family instead, but still consider pursuing it in the future.)

Anyway, I'm working on your survey...

Well, I'm only about a month into it, actually! However, I did have to choose between AAnthro and the Communication doctorate. I got accepted to both programs, and it was a difficult choice. The thing that really flipped me into AAnthro was Dr. Elizabeth Bird as the Dept. Chair (she wrote books on fandom and audience participation, and I referenced some of her research in another project I did -- she's now my advisor!), and the fact that the Departmental web site (as well as interviews I had with both Dept. chairs)really showed a lot of caring and more of a "family" feeling here than did Communication (where I had been warned about turf wars and issues with graduate assistant working conditions there, and people not being able to complete degrees because of all the infighting).

And the fact that they gave me funding didn't hurt either...

My external concentration is Communication (trying to get 18 hours so I can teach there as well), so I feel like I'm getting the best of both.

What's your area of study? USF is great for medical & biocultural anthro, as well as meso-american anthro and archeology. Seems like a good department overall, with a good reputation (just wish USF would spring for some new facilities for us soon...we're in one of the oldest buildings on campus, and it is a little gloomy in the GA offices especially...down in the basement...)
